Why is giving to RCC so important?

Private support is essential to Rockland Community College. With only 56% of the College’s operating budget coming from the state and local governments, we count on our community to help make exceptional educational opportunities available for all. A donation to the RCC Foundation is an investment in Rockland County and in all of those seeking a better future through education. With your help, RCC will continue its tradition of providing excellence in education for years to come.

Funding Focus

Scholarships: Give the gift of education. A one-time scholarship may be made to recognize an individual or organization. An endowed scholarship ($10,000 minimum) can be established in perpetuity, with selection criteria established by the donor in consultation with RCC faculty and staff.

Herbert Kurz President’s Student Support Fund: Paying tuition is just the first financial obligation a student faces when beginning the educational journey. Books, lab fees, and childcare, are just of a few of the many other expenses students face. Having financial help in these other areas can make the difference between dropping out and graduation.

Campus Revitalization: From art galleries to automotive technology equipment, computers to culinary supplies, there are numerous ways donors can support the capital needs of the RCC campus. Donors with a particular interest in campus beautification, permanent art installations or building sponsorship should consider a gift to this fund.

Faculty Development: Each year the RCC Foundation provides faculty members the resources they need to undertake special research projects, purchase specialized classroom equipment, and participate in ongoing training in their chosen fields.
